The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 248

▶ No survival items can be used inside the dwarf’s furnace.

▶ Body temperature rises rapidly.

▶ Please be careful.

“When dwarves die, they put their bodies into this furnace. It is no exaggeration to say that the furnace is a tomb where the souls of hundreds and thousands of dwarves rest.”

Namgung, who came down to the basement, felt like he was suffocating from the heat radiating from inside the furnace door.

“It feels like my insides are melting just by taking a breath…”

He instinctively took a step back without even realizing it.

“Carlos said it’s been a long time since the furnace was used?”

“Yes, I couldn’t make a new weapon because I didn’t have the materials. But that doesn’t mean you’ll do anything foolish that puts out the flame in the furnace. “Even when we lost the war and were kicked out of the tower, we kept the flame alive.”

Grumbling…!!!

A flame like a dragon’s breath rose and disappeared inside the furnace.

“Because that is the soul of a dwarf itself. “It can never be turned off.”

“Hmm…”

Namgung covered his face with his hands and understood why Thorn had said that the temperature was such that one would have to risk one’s life.

Because it was a flame created by exchanging countless lives.

Wow…!!

He raised the energy of necromancy.

Then, like spirit soldiers, dark red armor formed all over his body.

Cheeeeeek—!!!

As soon as I entered the furnace, the armor started making a loud noise as if it would melt at any moment.

“Whoa…”

Namgung slowly exhaled and took a step into it.

“Are you seriously planning to go in?”

“I have no intention of coming this far and turning away.”

“Okay… then I’ll do my best to check the chain until you come back.”

“Please do me a favor.”

Thorn nodded and pulled the lever.

Wow!!!

When the furnace door was completely closed and darkness fell into the basement again, he muttered in a low voice.

“I am afraid that the person who opens that door and comes out will be a human or a demon…”

Karrung –

He walked slowly, clutching the chain with fear.

-This is breaking news. It is said that most of the monsters summoned to Saipan have been eliminated. The number of individuals remaining is currently in the single digits.

-According to a survey, 90% of the monsters that appeared in major cities in each country have disappeared. It is said that many ordinary people, including military units from each country, participated in the sweep and were able to quickly drive out the demons.

-It is said that while citizens are confused by the sudden decision to become a surrogate clan, riots are breaking out in some areas due to the various weapons and abilities suddenly acquired.

-Governments of each country should be careful of the confusion that may arise.

The endless stream of breaking news showed that victory in the war was approaching.

-It was a desperate crisis, but through this crisis, humanity showed itself to be even more united.

– In particular, it seems to be of great significance that all eight military provinces fought together in this war.

– Not only that. Was there someone who drew attention with his outstanding performance in this battle?

-Yes, that’s right. According to reports, he single-handedly destroyed half of Saipan’s remaining monsters. That person….

“Somin!!”

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga river―――!!!!

As the dark red thunderbolt fell from the sky, the monsters around them turned black to ashes.

“Whoa…”

Somin, who had annihilated dozens of monsters, finally raised his head with a low sigh, as if he was a little tired.

“How much is left?”

“You can rest now. “Leave the rest to us.”

“Yes, I overdid it enough.”

“Huh… am I okay?”

Myung-Hoon and Ho-Jun forcibly dragged her to a seat as she tilted her head.

“You two are right. If it’s okay, I’m glad. You haven’t even managed your power properly yet. “There is no harm in being careful.”

When even Park Hyo-joo tried to dissuade So-min, she nodded as if she had no choice.

“No need to worry. There are only three bosses left now. Now all that remains is to be happy.”

Somin smiled at Park Hyo-joo, who patted her shoulder.

“The carnival doors will no longer be open, right?”

“I guess so. “Now that we have become a proxy clan, the festival without participants will have to end.”

“I’m glad…”

Hearing Park Hyo-joo’s words, So-min slumped her shoulders and said in a tearful voice.

“You have too much on your shoulders. It’s all thanks to you that we were able to survive. “Thank you, Somin.”

She hugged Somin tightly. I felt my small body tremble.

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah~!!!

It was then.

Somin instinctively raised her head when she heard a scream coming from far away.

▶ Varian from Famous Songs has passed away.

▶ All bosses summoned from the black dragon’s belly have been destroyed.

▶ In the current dimension, no other races exist except humans.

▶ Now that humans have been selected as the representative clan, there are no carnival participants, so no further festivals will be held.

▶ All festivals have ended.

▶ Congratulations.

“…!!!”

As the sound of notifications filled the island, Somin opened her eyes wide and looked at Park Hyo-joo.

“Oh, sister….”

“You caught the last boss. “It’s finally over!!!”

“Really? “Is it really over?”

“okay! “We survived!!”

“Aaaahhh…!!!”

Somin hugged Park Hyo-joo and began to cry loudly, bursting into tears.

Park Hyo-joo hugged her even tighter.

“I won…!! “It’s our victory!!!”

Waaaaaaaa――!!!!

Waaaaaa――!!

As Myung-Hoon raised his sword above Varian’s corpse and shouted, the people there began to shout in unison.

“Let’s go back.”

“huh!!”

Somin held Park Hyo-joo’s hand tightly.

[Do you really think the carnival is over?]

At that moment, a gloomy voice was heard from behind the two people.

“Who who… who… whoa!!!”

“sister!!”

In an instant, Park Hyo-joo’s body flew out, and So-min, who was holding her hand, looked at her in surprise.

Quagga River… ·!!

Park Hyo-joo’s body bounced on the ground and slid and rolled for hundreds of meters.

Her broken back twitched with difficulty, but she seemed to have lost consciousness and could not stand up.

“sister!!!!”

People around them looked at Somin’s voice.

“Hwaap!!!”

The first to move was Myung-Hoon.

He ran several meters at a time and swung his sword at the person who pushed Park Hyo-joo with all his might.

“…Now wait a minute!!”

At that moment, I heard Michael’s voice.

Cheesy…!!!

He ran through the space, blocked the intruder’s path, and deflected Myung-Hoon’s sword.

“What are you doing?”

“Brother, you really shouldn’t be like this. “You may be angry, but you have to be careful about who you are dealing with.”

“You must have seen what that bastard did just now, right? “What kind of side does that guy take?”

Creepy –

it was the first time.

Myung-Hoon’s anger, which always showed a sad side, was enough to surprise even Michael, the revealer.

“It’s not a side. “You’re saying that because you don’t know who the author is.”

“Who is that guy?”

“No bastard. Connector of hexagonal bridge. “He is someone I respect.”

Myung-Hoon could not hide his surprise at Michael’s unexpected words.

“…Phase? “Why did Sang Sang come here?”

“I’m not sure about that either.”

Michael glanced at the figure standing there and shook his head.

“Actually, this is the first time I’ve seen it since I was first chosen.”

Just as he couldn’t see his face, he was in a state where his true feelings were unknown.

“Move.”

Myung-Hoon passed him as if he understood.

Michael seemed worried and tried to stop him, but the moment he saw Myung-hoon’s eyes, he was unable to say anything.

“What are you doing? “I understand that status clearly has no direct influence on the participants, right?”

[Why are you participants? Aren’t you guys now part of the proxy clan?]

Ssssssssssssssssssssssss…!!

The hands floating in the air all circled around Myung-Hoon and put pressure on him as if they were going to attack him at any moment.

[Since you have become a member of the substitute clan, all you have to do is treat them appropriately. Do you understand?]

“I guess you don’t really have anything to do? Come to a place like this and start a fight. why? Are you upset that things didn’t go as you expected and that we ended the festival too quickly?”

Myung-Hoon actually took a step closer to him.

He said, glaring at the statue under his chin.

“You should know how embarrassing it is.”

[…You bastard.]

Although the six-way bridge connector was a faceless phase, the shaking of the flames around him was enough to tell his anger.

“We are not your toys. “I have no intention of playing games with you!”

Myung-Hoon’s voice rang throughout the area.

“With all our might, my brother found the answer, and we fought with our lives to achieve it. Are you dissatisfied with our excellence?”

[dissatisfaction? Do not view status as a human standard. I just came here to tell you guys the truth.]

“…What?”

▶ It is time for phase.

▶ The special curtain of the last carnival has opened.

As the flames covering his face flickered as if laughing, Myung-Hoon looked at him with a stern face.

[You probably know this too. The rules of the carnival. When the door opens, all the specified number of monsters must be summoned. If it closes earlier than that, the monsters that could not be summoned will be summoned simultaneously.]

Myeong-Hoon recalled the incident when he was hunting the Goblin Lord. It was a group of goblins that were exterminated in Gwanghwamun Square.

[Sometimes it may be an opportunity for you to collect heads… but sometimes it may be a series of pain worse than hell.]

▶ All remaining monsters are summoned.

▶ Number of Wyverns: 1 3… 500….

▶ Number of Trolls: 5 80… 1200….

▶ Number of Manticores: 100 150 300….

“What is this… .”

In an instant, darkness descended.

When I looked up, I realized that the darkness was caused by the monsters remaining in dozens of doors being summoned all at once, blocking the sky.

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

Crrrrrrr――!!

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands… countless monsters of all kinds began to rush towards people.

[Your father ruined everything. How dare you try to kill God?]

The connector of the six-way bridge growled at Somin.

Jeok- Jeok- Jeok-

“Stop!!”

Myeong-hoon hurriedly blocked So-min’s path, but one of Sang-sang’s arms holding a sword flew out and pushed him away.

“…Tsk!!”

Kang-!! Kagang-!!!

Another arm flew in, and as another arm joined in, Myung-Hoon, who was busy defending himself, eventually began to be pushed back little by little.

[Their deaths are all because of your father. And you too will endure this pain in the same way.]

He said to Somin.

[The festival is over? Whose will it be? You guys….]

“Yeah, it’s a shame it’s over already. “I didn’t even see you guys fall to the bottom of hell.”

It was then.

A rough hand wrapped around Somin’s shoulder and held back, flying toward the connector of the six-way leg.

Pow-!!!

The thick fist was aimed squarely at Sang Sang’s face, but Sang Sang looked at him as if he were astonished.

[You’re doing such a trivial thing. Actually, you should have ended up in the same situation as those monsters, but you survived well.]

Crackling –

And when I twisted the fist that hit my cheek, I heard the sound of my bones twisting.

“Yes, it is a miserable life, but I saved it thanks to my son, so at least I should use it meaningfully.”

Wow!!

Regardless of the pain of breaking his bones, Nam Ki-cheol threw the other fist.

“If you touch even a single hair of my granddaughter, she will die.”

At that moment, Somin looked at his back with wide eyes.
